Let Tigran the Great be kindly remembered
Tigran the Great established the Armenian Empire on all four sides to show the significance of all of them. The one was in Artsakh. What happened and didn’t happen next we know and much remains to reveal.
Artsakh got the fate of Western Armenian - in our full view yet belonged to Turks. Little Turks who were however able to conduct a Genocide. What happened after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, we know and much remains to reveal - women who sacrificed their lives, children, men and elderly hatched to death.
We know and still much remains to reveal how people stood to protect their houses. What was the cost for people to go to their death for the sake of life, leaving their children in the motherland and for women fighting in Artsakh, making weapons out of blades and planting on the soil where their sons had fallen.
What was the cost for not receiving the much anticipated praise with no hope to ever get it. To live with surprise every day and generously repeat it for every day.
Artsakh turned into a parent and a child – a place of mourning and celebrating achievements, a flag for the honorable service, a country of pride and hope.
Let Tigran the Great be kindly remembered. Our Artsakh celebrates its 28th anniversary after centuries of fighting for freedom. Persisting through the First Liberation, April wars, daily shootings at the borders we are still there. And will always be there.
Welcome to Artsakh to value the soil and its people.
